How about E. I want Bradely to start the season in Pawtucket and ensure that what he is showing in spring training is in fact not a spring fluke, and he can do that against a higher level of pitching who is actually trying to get him out. And if we're all terribly wrong and he still has a .500 OBP in Pawtucket we find him a roster spot and HEY the 1 extra year is an added benefit and in no way a determining factor like Softy has convinced himself is the only logic answer for the Sox not breaking camp with him....because Softy whole heartedly takes Spring training stats for what a player is 100% capable of. With the Execption of Ryan Dempster, who he called a garbage pick, when he has a strong spring training it is absolutely in no way a glimpse of what he will provide during the regular season. Because that in no way is hypocritical (obvious sarcams)

A. I want to see Bradley in the opening day starting lineup and not sent back to the minors so the Red Sox can try and save 2 or 3M a year over the next 7 years.

B. I want Bradley to start the season in the minors so the Red Sox hopefully save 2 or 3M a year over the next 7 years, and then call him up and start him after about 12 days in the minors

C. I want Bradley in the opening day starting lineup, but I then want him sent down for at least 20 days early in the season to make sure the Red Sox hopefully save 2 or 3M a year over the next 7 years, and then call him back up and start him after 20 or more days in the minors

I'll start:

Softlaw votes for choice A

that would be "A"........ Bill-806 always votes with SOFTY, thats the right thing to do !!

Saving a few million shouldn't be a valid concern for the Red Sox .They are paying Victorino and Gomes 18 mill this year to be part time outfielders. Can Bradley hit righthand pitching if so we need him these two can't.
